Intro to chiropractic care

A common belief is that Chiropractic care is only for those with neck and/or back pain. While Chiropractic care does provide relief for these ailments, the true purpose of Chiropractic care is to correct distortions that inhibit proper functioning of the nervous system and is therefore extremely beneficial to individuals of ALL ages.

"The nervous system controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body." (Gray's Anatomy, 29th Ed., page 4)

Pressure is placed on the spinal nerves when vertebrae in your neck and/or back become misaligned. These misalignments referred to as vertebral subluxations interfere with the signals being sent to your body. Subluxations can be caused by physical trauma, chemical imbalances (nutrition, alcohol/drug use, pollutants, etc.), and/or emotional stress. Left uncorrected subluxations can cause chronic health problems.

Chiropractors correct subluxations by using a variety of techniques to move misaligned vertebra into their proper position for better nerve function. This is referred to as a chiropractic adjustment.
